I'm trying to locate any ancestors or relatives of Evan Byrne, Master Mariner, born Wexford 1817 and Master of the Schooner 'Star' out of Wexford 1856, owned by Ellen O' Connor. The name Evans or Evans continued in this familly for the next two generations, but I can't find any other family using it as a forename. His daughter Mary married Joseph Ryan, master mariner in 1879, Wexford. (my great-gr grandfather)
Any info would be appreciated

The name Evan or Evans is still used in that family. To find them I think you can check names in the online phone directory.

Thanks 'Shellback' Ive only found one Evan Byrne so far, in Enniscourthy and have taken the liberty of writing to him. I hope he doesn't mind. I'm also looking for a Patrick Ryan, Master Mariner of Wexford born around 1820, the father of my Great-grandfather, Joseph Ryan, Master Mariner born 1850 Wexford. He also had sons Henry & Patrick. Henry, like Joseph moved to Liverpool in around 1882. I reckon sorting out a Ryan might prove even harder than a Byrne.

I think I might be a relative as I have been researching my family tree and have found a Evans Byrne who would be my Great Great Grandfather. His daughter, Margaret married John White who is my Great Grandfather. On their marriage certificate it states that Evans Byrne is a Pilot. I automatically thought of airplanes but realised it must be piloting a boat. This sounds like we could both be on the same page.

It is always helpful (to those who try to assist) if you can state as much information as possible:
- What religion?
- Where was the marriage, and when?
These details help, and help to avoid wasted effort.

Apologies, this is my first time writing on a Forum. The marriage of John White and Margaret (Maggie) Byrne took place on 20th November 1901 in Wexford and they are Roman Catholic.
-
Maggie's father was Evans a pilot

1901
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Wexford/Wexford_Urban_No__2/The_Faythe/1807668/
From son Nicholas' birth his wife was Annie Morris
On their marriage Evans father was also Evan a Sailor

Joseph Ryan and Mary Byrne of Staffs family
Mary's father was also Evan a Master mariner
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1879/11069/8050355.pdf
So the question is are Mary Byrne and Evans Byrne brother and sister, with father Evan Byrne.
-
Evans Byrne died 1893, his nephew William Kelly was the informant
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1893/05983/4701760.pdf
His age is given as 72 so that gives a birth of about 1821, it's looking good for him to be the same Evan/s working for the O'Connor woman.
-
There is an Evan Byrne and Catherine Walsh having children in Wexford.
A daughter Mary was born 1852, right hand page.
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634139#page/18/mode/1up
Don't know if they had a son Evan yet.

I know you were looking for Byrne relatives, but I think that my Great-Grandfather James Ryan was a brother to your Joseph. Here is a link to Joseph's marriage record: https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1879/11069/8050355.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3NH1-SwNfAYLyegiFK5ZLimIKPjJ7SuhxvKjK1afblknBUyoFBYQRfMDg
If you have any info on the Ryan side I would love to collaborate. I just today made this connection thru some help from a few groups I belong to, so it was exciting to find a relative already! :-)
